Juicers And Love Have 9 Things In Common

Of course, downgrades are necessary so as to offer any product at a lower
Luckily, Hamilton Beach appears to have chosen
To downgrade some of the least important aspects of a centrifugal juicer in order
In the following article, I'll review the Big Mouth in an effort to help you figure
Out if it may be the juicer for you. I Won't focus on style in this article, but do
Feel that it is necessary to mention it quickly, since this particular juicer is
Offered in three different style options: white and lime green, grey, or black.
Now that we have style out of the way, there are a couple of things you should
consider before purchasing any juicer, this one included.
You to figure out if you're even looking to buy a centrifugal juicer, or if a
masticating juicer is more your style. Although able to perform many more tasks,
Masticating juicers are way more expensive. I've posted an article about the
Differences between the two types which you might find useful. The other
Considerations will all be addressed as you move your way through this report. So,
let's begin.
One of the major ways Hamilton Beach was able to reduce the price of this juicer
Plastic is, of course, much less
Therefore, making most of the pieces from plastic is a great
Way to lower costs.
Of course, as with any cost-cutting downgrade, there are definite drawbacks to
making this juicer almost completely from plastic.
Extended periods of time is very likely to cause heat to build up. In similar plastic
Juicers, this heat has been known to really cause plastic encasements to start
to melt.
Include a security feature in many of their juicers which shuts down the system if
the motor is in danger of overheating.
Another concern with plastic encasements is They aren't as durable as their
metal counterparts. So long as you are able to be careful with your juicer and
avoid dropping it, this shouldn't be very much of an issue. It's even less important
If you plan to create space for this juicer to sit stationary on your countertop.

The case of this juicer, it seems that Hamilton Beach chose to remove the juice

get poured into your glass or larger refrigerator pitcher anyway. All juice pitchers
Really do, in those cases, is dirty an extra dish and take up more space in your
cupboard.
1 upside to juice pitchers is that Many feature measurement markings
So you can precisely measure out different kinds of juice when making
cocktails. A Simple solution for this problem with the Hamilton Beach Big Mouth is
simply slipping a measuring cup beneath its spout instead of your drinking glass.
Therefore, Hamilton Beach has reduced the price of this juicer without really
Taking much away from you in the way of convenience or function.
Sufficient Motor
Cutting back in areas like metal encasements and juice pitchers means that
Hamilton Beach has been able to include a sufficient 800-watt motor in this
particular centrifugal juicer. As centrifugal juicers go, I say that 800 watts is
Sufficient since it exists neither on the low nor high end of functionality.
A 600-watt motor would likely overheat and stop working when performing
simple tasks. A 1000-watt motor could easily withstand large batches of difficultto-
process foods. This 800-watt motor will allow you to juice easy and difficult
Foods, and should not overheat so long as you do not leave it running for too long.
I would suggest making only a couple of glasses at a time then allowing it a break
To cool down, since overheating can't only lead to malfunction but also melting
the plastic encasement.
A Big Mouth and A Big Bin
Further adding to the convenience of this juicer are its wide feeding mouth and its
large pulp collector bin. The feeding mouth is 3 inches wide, which can be quickly
Becoming the standard in centrifugal juicers. A 3 inch wide feeding mouth means
That you are not going to have to cut many of your foods before placing them in your
Juicer, which greatly reduces the quantity of prep time and clean up time involved
In developing a succulent juice.
The large pulp collector can also be a life saver in the domain of time. Instead of
Stopping every few minutes to empty a small pulp basket, you can continually
Feed vegetables and fruits into the wide feeding mouth without worry, and vacant
The large bin upon completing your task.
Consumer Feedback
Consumer feedback for the Big Mouth is impressively positive, especially
Considering how cost-effective this particular juicer happens to be. Most of the
Complaints I managed to find were focused around expected issues. For example,
After the motor runs for too long, the plastic encasement and other plastic components
Can start to melt. Also, common problems with all centrifugal juicers were also
Reported, like issues with froth and noise.
Concluding Remarks
Overall, I believe that Hamilton Beach has provided a great product from the Big
Mouth Juice Extractor, for its price. If you have more money to spend and intend
To use your juicer for extended periods of time, I would suggest looking
elsewhere. However, if you are looking for something which works well and is
Affordably-priced, this could be precisely the juicer for you. I only caution that you take
note of its shortcomings and work with it in the ways that best support its optimal
Function; take your time and allow breaks for the motor to cool down.
